I am trying to understand the implications of what the XML 1.0 spec says about End-of-Line Handling and would appreciate some clarification from more experienced shoulders. It would appear that given this section, it is never possible to get unaccompanied carriage return "characters" in the stream of information provided by an XML parser, be it SAX or DOM, unless I encode these as character references in the input file to the parser. Is this correct? On a related note, assuming simple ascii files, if I now encode the carriage return as a character reference, and round trip the file through an XSLT identity transform, will the output file be identical or will the carriage return now be represented as a single <CR> byte? Thanks Michael
